you don’t have to be Lyrics by Strange Philosophies

the display case

2024

There's something dark and haunted here
A feeling refuses to disappear
But it's okay, with you it feels
Playful somehow
We both know nothing will happen now
Intentions are nothing to fret about
It's just my fault that we are
Here once again
And everyday you bring rays
Of your light in my life
You don't have to be mine
And when I give you all my time
You take it, so I think it's fine
It's just okay for us to say
There's nothing else
Rejections aren't always heartfelt
What's left unsaid can make you melt
So I don't care if how this works
Isn't working at all
And everyday you bring rays
Of your light in my life
And everyday you bring rays
Of your light in my life
You don't have to be mine
